By now, Cowboys baseball fans should know better than to panic.
Still, concerns escalated as Oklahoma State, fresh off a College World Series run, flirted with .500 through three weeks of the season.
Well, here come the Cowboys, like clockwork.
OSU, 15-6 and ranked No. 21, carries an eight-game winning streak into its initial Big 12 series this weekend at No. 3 TCU. It's a showdown opener between two of the league's preseason favorites.
A year ago, the Cowboys were 14-7 entering league play, after starting 2-5 with four walk-off losses. That became a barely remembered storyline by the time they arrived in Omaha.
